I applaud Reps @CongressmanGT and @repdelgado for introducing the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act. As everyone knows, #milk is the best, most affordable way to ensure youngsters get the vitamins and minerals they need to grow up strong and healthy.

Thank you @milkdelivers for bringing back “Got Milk” ads! I wanted the dairy industry to bring back these ads since joining @dairyidfa! the public loves these ads and always strong support for them when presenting at meetings! Pleased to see retail milk sales up 8.3% Jan to July!.
As US milk sales rise amid pandemic, "Got milk?"ads return - ABC News via @ABC - Thank you MilkPEP for stepping up your game. Farmers been told “Got Milk” ads waste of $ THEY must have been wrong @gadairygirl @dfaber84 @NYFarmer @drdairy50 @michaeldykesdc.

It is so gratifying to see the Farmers to Families Food Boxes delivered to so many families and to know the incredible job @USDA_AMS did to turn an idea into reality in such a short time! People in food and agriculture always come together to help each other!.
An amazing sight at the Westmoreland Fairgrounds - 1,000 cars lined up to receive healthy, nutritious, fresh food to take home to their families. Great work being done by the Westmoreland County Foodbank and all their volunteers distributing @USDA’s Farmers to Families Food Boxes
